| 1331002 | 2013-03-03 07:53:00 | I buy my Dáddario guitar strings in packs of three's from amazon in the US and they cost me less than half price including shipping. Same here - Cost's far more at the Rockshop, and still rip off on trade me. Cost's like $4NZ per set off ebay, then $14 at the Rockshop :D |

I was astounded with the rockshop when I bought my Cole Clark FLAC1 from there and discovered I could have bought it from aussie and saved $800.00 even after the shipping was included... |

| 1331004 | 2013-03-03 21:02:00 | I always check the feedback before buying stuff, I've been amazed of some of what I've seen. One seller with a few neutral feedbacks with comments that really weren't that bad went off his nut at the buyers for posting neutral feedback, I don't guess he realises he's doing himself more harm than the feedback did for anyone who reads it. I think it was mainly just because he was slow to ship the goods on a couple of occasions. I guess maybe more of us need to put the effort in to get tradme support to look at this stuff, I never bother doing things like that but I suppose I would if I got unjustified feedback. So far all positive, touch wood. I've been annoyed with trademe's charges also but not quite game to buy stuff from E-bay, maybe a 2nd credit card or a debit card just for overseas purchases to limit the potential losses would be the way to go. Has anyone tried the NZ E-bay site at all? I never hear it mentioned. |

| 1331005 | 2013-03-03 21:32:00 | Dugimodo, the sellers at ebay or amazon have customers reviews also that should give an indication of their trustworthiness, and paradoxically it is safer to buy there than from Trademe. I have got a debit card from my bank which I use exclusively for these types of transactions. There is no money in the debit card I just transfer whatever I need to pay from cc before transaction. Very safe. |

| 1331006 | 2013-03-05 00:10:00 | The trick with leaving bad feedback is to wait until 45 days after the trade. Step 1: On the 45th day, a few minutes before the time your auction finished, leave the worst feedback that your heart desires (within trademe's terms and conditions of course). Then when the clock ticks over the exact minute your auction closed 45 days ago, feedback is locked for that auction. Step 2: lol |

| 1331009 | 2013-03-05 02:04:00 | Trademe did remove the negative feedback from "fitnessworld", saying it breached their policies. Still it's annoying to get positive feedback to changed to negative, after I complained about a bad part and lack of email response from "fitnessworld". |

Step 2: lol Yep and they wait till your next auction and buy something from you and give you bad feedback right back. I would anyway probably using my sons account. |

| 1331011 | 2013-03-05 08:32:00 | TM is a little like life: you get back what you put out! Retaliation buys nothing but grief, so choose your Traders carefully (there will always be another chance to buy that same item, or another buyer to bid on your auction) . Life is far too short to get wound up over issues like feedback, and emulating pablo's silly feedback game reflects as badly on the giver as it does the recipient! That is simply 'nyah nyah' school-yard behaviour, and other Traders are going to read it and maybe blacklist both the giver and receiver as undesirable traders . I've done just under 300 trades now, with zero blues or reds exchanged either way, nobody blacklisted, and just one bad seller who vanished with $10 he didn't earn, but he didn't get a red face either . My trading reputation is worth more to me than a miserable $10, so I nailed him through TM's processes instead and he was removed . I can live with that . Billy |
